Eat Right Around Chicago
http://www.chicagonow.com/eatright
As a Registered Dietitian, I have made it my mission to eat my way around Chicago...but I'm going to EAT RIGHT around each and every neighborhood. I refuse to starve my taste buds, deconstruct a chef's creation to save waist and I won't miss a local hot spot. Simultaneously, I will maintain my weight, make nutritious choices and keep my nutrient dense diet.
My aim is to give easy to digest diet tips, nutrition insights and ideas to dine right at any eating establishment. I don't believe in compromising taste to eat right; good food and a healthy body are not mutually exclusive. I rate restaurants based on their "yummy-ness" as well as their healthiness.
Follow me each day, check out my restaurant reviews and see what I ordered to eat right around Chicago!

Cafe Spiaggia on Michigan Ave.
Like I said, I am scared of prix fixe menus, therefore Chicago's Restaurant Week makes me nervous. I also rarely dine on Michigan Ave., so I figured I'd kill two birds with one stone (such a violent adage) and dine at Cafe Spiaggia at 980 Michigan ...
